Lefty Teaching Pro Makes Right Decision
Back in 2001, PGA Master Professional Steve Anderson and Lowcountry golf writer and publisher Paul deVere teamed up to produce and publish the first left handed golf instruction book to go out in well over three decades. In this very niche market of left-handed golfers,…
Raising the Bar: Lowrey Group Chefs
It’s been said that too many cooks spoil the broth; but the Lowrey Group’s award-winning chefs are working together more closely than ever, and the soup’s turning out pretty tasty. The Lowrey Group currently consists of a complete catering and event planning division, Celebrations Catering…
8th Annual Bluffton Arts & Seafood Festival
As the heavy air of a Lowcountry summer has just about out-stayed its welcome, the droopy lids of summer lift in anticipation of the freshened air and renewed energy that comes with autumn, making it the perfect time for the 8th Annual Bluffton Arts &…
OCT 2012 CHARITY CORNER: CARING COINS FOUNDATION
“Pennies matter; spare change matters.” That simple message, delivered by Caring Coins Foundation chairperson Paula Harper-Bethea, reverberated around the crowded room at the Hargray corporate headquarters on August 20. Those in attendance understood her reference and had gathered to celebrate that very fact. Spare change does…
OCTOBER 2012: EDITOR'S NOTE
When we were trying to come up with a theme for our Bachelorette of 2013 party, somehow “Bridesmaids” seemed a natural fit. After all, just about any woman who has been single for a while has ended up in at least one wedding. Ashton Kelley…
Here She Comes, Miss America(IX)!
She’s stunning, graceful and possesses a remarkable talent that does not involve flaming batons. Her name is Miss America IX, and she holds the unique distinction of being the first hydroplane, or speedboat, in the world to exceed 100 miles per hour. Miss America IX…
New Golf App at Palmetto Dunes
With half of Americans now owning a smartphone, it seemed only natural to the team at Palmetto Dunes to give its golfers a way to improve their experience on the green right on their iPhone, iPad or Android. The new golf application from Palmetto Dunes…
Golf : A Game of Love
Let us contemplate the beauty of golf. I’m not talking about those attractive LPGA players (who can drive the ball 270 yards—and you, average golfer, drive it 212) or those glam PGA Tour wives and significant others (many who actively support dozens of charities). I…

Hilton Head National
Robert Redford and Brad Pitt don’t run through Hilton Head National Golf Club—and neither does a river. Nor does a road, though over the past several months you might have thought so. The extended Bluffton Parkway did slice off a chunk of the Hilton Head…
Island Car Wash: Feng Shui for Your Car
Whether you are a mud-spattered, raised-in-the country boy, with a gun rack in the back of your truck or a starchy-pressed corporate raider with a BMW, you know the feeling of driving around when your car or truck is clean. Whether you know it or…
Island Plum
Who would ever guess that the secret to a plumbing business’s success would be great communications and finding a niche within a niche? In the case of Island Plumbing, it doesn’t hurt that the verbal part of the communication takes the form of a charming…
Duty Calls....
I know. I know. It’s a pain in the butt, and nobody looks forward to getting that notice in the mail. You’ve gotta feed the dog, you hate lawyers, you’ve got ADD, you can’t take a week off from work and on and on and…
Hello My Name is..BJ Payne (Coach)
Hi, My name is BJ Payne, but my friends call me coach. You may have seen me coaching Hilton Head High School Football or around the island with my family. I grew up in the boring/ exciting town of Massillon, Ohio. When I was five, my…
OCTOBER 2012: FINANCE
I’m going to try the impossible here: to lay out the facts on what the two presidential candidates are proposing to do with your individual income taxes. No opinion, just the facts, so you can make an informed decision when you cast your vote in…
OCTOBER 2012: A LINE IN THE SAND
FRANK DUNNE, JR. Next month we go to the polls to decide the fate of the free world. A bit overly melodramatic? No. It’s not. This is the big one. You probably remember the incessant droning in 2008 that it was to be our most…
OCTOBER 2012: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Ms. Washo, Thank you so much for the space in your magazine for my article on Fish Haul Farm in Port Royal Plantation. There were two things I noticed when reading the article. 1. You didn’t give me credit for the photos or…
Calling All Conjurers, Wizards, and Wannabe's
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker…the doctor, the professor, the salesman, the student. On the first Monday of every month, assorted characters are found at the Sea Pines Community Center practicing all manner of bamboozlement—entirely legal, of course. “It’s a diverse group—none of them normal,”…

Michelle Murray: Terminally Positive
It’s a balancing act that could easily lead many to distraction or worse, yet Michelle Murray somehow sounds poised and on-beam despite the diverse directions life takes her every day. And making her living as a country singer just might be the easiest aspect of…
Moonlighting: Extra Effort Cultivates Careers
Actor Tom Selleck wakes early at his Ventura County, California ranch, pulls on muddy brown work boots, well-worn jeans, a dusty shirt and a wide-brimmed hat, and starts his day as a farmer with 60-plus acres of land and over 2,000 avocado trees. Across the…
Oktoberfest
On Saturday, September 8, Frankie Bones created their own theresienwiese (meadow) complete with die festhalle (beer hall) for the first annual Franktoberfest!

The Shops at Sea Pines Center
Palmettoes. Truffles Café. Forsythe Jewelers. Le Spa. Iconic names on Hilton Head Island, all of them, and for over a quarter century they’ve been drawing shoppers, diners, and those seeking a little rejuvenation to an iconic-in-its-own-right location in the heart of Sea Pines Plantation, The…
OCTOBER 2012: OUR TOWN
Joe Cain doesn’t have anything against Cajun cooking. It’s just that he discovered last year that a Cajun festival might not be right for Hilton Head Island. Burgers and beer, however—now that’s a different story. So, when last year’s Cajun Fest fell a little flat, and…
